Well JR...here is how I look at it.
If a guy is speeding and I stop him, and I see that he is not wearing his seatbelt...and btw he does not have his registration or insurance card...oh yeah, he dosen't have current tabs either...I could nail him for everything, and yes JR...then "I'm doing my job properly" as you stated.
[/B][/QUOTE]Dude,if you do nail him for everything you mentioned above,and the LAW now states that the total fines are $500,can you now tell the guy that if he gives you $200,you'll let him go?
To use your analogy,both a cop and a referee may make up their own minds as to whether someone is breaking a law/rule.They can call/charge someone,or let it slide.That's their judgement.However,if either of them does decide to nail someone,what neither of them can do now is inflict any punishment that is outside of the written law/rule that they are supposed to be enforcing.
